Greenville Author Jessica Khoury to Celebrate Launch of Kalahari at Fiction Addiction

 

Greenville, SC, February 5, 2015 - Greenville author Jessica Khoury will be signing copies of her new young adult novel, Kalahari (Razorbill, hardcover, $17.99), at her launch party at Fiction Addiction on Saturday, February 28th, at 3:00pm. This event is free and open to the public, and refreshments will be served. You can reserve copies of the book online or by calling us at 864-675-0540. We will also have books for sale at the event on a first-come, first-served basis.

Kalahari

 

When an educational safari goes wrong, five teens find themselves stranded in the Kalahari Desert without a guide. It's up to Sarah, the daughter of zoologists, to keep them alive and lead them to safety, calling on survival know-how from years of growing up in remote and exotic locales. Battling dehydration, starvation and the pangs of first love, she does her best to hold it together, even as their circumstances grow increasingly desperate.

But soon a terrifying encounter makes Sarah question everything she's ever known about the natural world. A silver lion, as though made of mercury, makes a vicious, unprovoked attack on the group. After a narrow escape, they uncover the chilling truth behind the lion's silver sheen: a highly contagious and deadly virus that threatens to ravage the entire area -- and eliminate life as they know it.

In this breathtaking new novel by the acclaimed author of Origin and Vitro, Sarah and the others must not only outrun the virus, but its creators, who will stop at nothing to wipe out every trace of it.

About the author:

Jessica Khoury wrote her first book at age 4, a fan fic sequel to Syd Hoff's Danny and the Dinosaur, which she scribbled on notebook paper, stapled together, and placed on the bookshelf of her preschool classroom. Since that day, she's dreamed of being an author.

When not writing, Jess enjoys spending time with family, playing video games, and traveling the world in search of stories and inspiration.

Jess currently lives in Greenville, South Carolina.
